2024 July, from Facebook "For Sale":

2020 February, from Facebook: "I bought the Farr 920 that was in the US Watercraft bankruptcy auction a couple of years ago. I'm finally getting ready to splash it.  I'm looking to get some provenance on the boat/find previous owners.  I met a guy at the auction (Brian I believe) who had owned the boat previously, unfortunately I lost his number. It had also been subsequently owned by someone who worked at Hall Spars. Anyone got any info to share with me?"
